you are in California so check with America's Tire Company aka Discount Tire Company. Call around, it takes literally less than 5 minutes for them to swap over the TPMS ids so if they make it seem like it's a lot of labor, they are flat out lying. If I decide to get another set of wheels and tires, I will have my existing OEM TPMS ID's cloned to programmable sensors so my car will always see the same ID's which is the absolute best way to go. I also have a tool where I can program them myself, but cloned IDs to me is the absolute best way to go

It does take five minutes, but everything costs something...the shop has to fill out a repair order, someone has to bring the car in, someone has to program it, someone has to drive it out, someone has to collect the money, a receipt has to be given. I'd say $25 is fair. Of course if it's a shop that you frequent they might be willing to do it for nothing, but you'd have to be a regular customer. And some of them are a pain to do simply because it's more than just a quick scan of the sensors...some Fords make you jump through hoops of fire...Nissan is a lot of fun too..my LS gave me a little trouble as well. They're all different. Same with the oil light resets, they are becoming a royal pain...it's easier to do the actual oil change than reseting some lights.
